What the contest is This is a contest for poetry, obviously. All the submissions must be themed for summer time, summer vacation, school ending, and just summer! Summer vacation is coming soon, so why not prepare with a fun little poetry contest!
Rules
• ALL poems must be written by YOU. All submissions will be checked for plagiarism(trust me, guys, it's not hard at all to check. It takes seconds). Please note that plagiarism is against the ToS.
• You may submit up to three entries. If you would like to swap one out, say which ones you're switching.
• All entries must be about the theme.
• No begging, drama, or anything that would make this a negative atmosphere.
• PM all of your entries to the guild mule. Any that are posted here or PMed specifically to me will not be counted. [Click me to PM the guild mule]

Prizes 1st Place
HetChrome
Warm, hot, boiling,
Green, green grass,
Worms dying on the sidewalk.
Cannot go outside.
Staring out the window,
(Longingly)
Pencil in hand.
IV in the wrist.
Sitting in the white room,
Smelling of sickness.
Plastering face to the cold glass panes,
Watching.
Fat toddler hands and feet,
Tumbling across the lawn,
Balloon clutched in a chubby fist.
She is jealous.
Painting a picture of the warmth outside,
Blocks of light,
Shadows whispering from the trees.
Her bottles of green and yellow are half empty.
It's time, the doctor says,
She sets down her brush,
Is wheeled out the room.
She glances outside once more.
The tiny girl clad in white,
Sitting on the white sheets,
In the white room,
With white canvases.
But those canvases are no longer white,
Painted with greens and blues and light,
With the toddlers and their balloons,
Clenched in fat fists, tumbling across the grass.
And she's gone.
Leaving the white room,
And the white sheets,
And the green, blue, yellow canvases.
Of summer.
2nd Place
[SmileUponMyStar]
[The beat of the sun, staring down on you.
The warmth, wraping it's arms around you.
The summer wind, whispering golden melodies in your ears.
The smell of flowers, are happiness that only you can see.
The brightness of the sky, startles you with it's amazing beauty.
Kids swish, swash, dashing like squirrels through yards.
The twinkling laughter, makes heads turn their way.
The freedom, like a bird unleashed from it's cage.
The pressure, taken off like a cheetah speeding away.
The unhappiness, lifts, turns, and flutters away like a butterfly.
A new beginning.
A new start of hope.]
3rd Place
kuiwi
Sitting in a flattened circle of weeds.
How pretty they'd seem, if not for their seeds;
Spred in the breeze,
Like balloons over seas,
Fall in my face and the books that I read.
The bugs also scurry and crawl on my arms
Mosquitoes and spiders - causing me harm.
Summer is the season,
(And the best reason)
To stay in a porch when living on a farm.
Honorable Mention
[Skarry Neon Puppeteer]
[Summer isnt a time of year,
Or a place,
But rather,
A state of mind.
This state of mind is so sweet,
so full of warmth.
It's always sunny,
Unless you wish for the rain.
In this imaginary place,
you never have to worry,
about sleeping in.
So stay in late, and stay out later.
This wondrous place is Summer's Dreamland,
where its possible to be,
or not to be,
in this Dream of a sunny time.]
Honorable Mention
Time Lady of Gallifrey
Summer Romance
A drifting thought
A whispered dream
A passing fancy
The gleam in an eye
Secrets
Surprises
Sweet laughter
A touch of the hand
A kiss on the cheek
The setting sun
The winking stars
Daybreak
Then the leaves turn
And the love wanes
But don’t worry
Summer will be back again

Summer, summer,
it doesn't have to be a bummer,
how classes end,
and life becomes dimmer.
Let the sun flow to your veins,
embrace the life around you.
Oh this season's a bless
For you to caress.
The flowers bloom,
and the seeds go boom,
let the fruits hug you,
let their sweetness embrace you too.
This season is made to make you jolly,
Not to make you folly,
sitting around,
waiting in the foyer
Go and play,
shower and stay,
where the water is cold,
and the animals are bold.

Totally in. =)
However, I have one question.
It says up to three entries, does that mean we can win more than once?
